The social broke up at 10 O'Clock.
Everybody came in good humor and
went away happy, save for the nournful
reflections caused by the scandalous con-
duct Of some of the good deacons, who
were seen several times in the vicinity of
a hay stack hard by. One of them dis
covered a lantern hanging up in a tree,
and mistaking it for the moon, grew
somewhat hilarious and objected to go

was still high. Whether the jug was
really behind the hay stack or not we
are not yet certain. but later in the even

home with the hind wheels of his wagon
on the forward axles, truly sad spec

STAND BY YOUR FLAG.

Today will be day long to be remem-
bered by Republicans in Sedgwick coun-
ty. The Democratic party today will
make the best organized and determined
effort ever made in this county to storm
and carry the Republican citadel. The
old Republican banner under which
Lincoln, Grant and Garfield achieved SO
many brilliant victories floats defiantiy
in the breeze. Beneath its folds are as
sembled a brave and determined band
who have never deserted their banner
and principles when the battle ragged and
our bugles sounded the charge. Do not
be deceived by any false issues or efforts
Of the Democratic party to shout for
free government. The effort of the
Democratic party to tune their instru-
ments Of music to play Hail Columbia
and Marching Through Georgia is like
Ingersoll singing the long meter doxology.
The Democrats expect to carry the cleo
ton today by the aid of desertcrs from
the Republican camp. They will not do
this. Principle is stronger than preju-
dice and men will not strike down and
trail in the dust a banner under which
they have fought for quarter of CEN
fury. Especially will they not this where
the history Of that quarter of a century
is the brightest in this worlds history. 1t
is a history Of victories won for free
dom by the Republican party. However,
theRepublican party believes in the largest
liberty Of thought. Republicans can de-
feat their own party if they SO desire.
They can meet with Democrats tonight
and build an bonfire on Market street
and rejoice over the defeat of the best
Republican ticket ever nominated in
Sedgwick cuunty. They will not then
hang ont pictures Of Lincoln and Grant.
but Tilden and Cleveland. And then the
Republicans who voted the Democratic
ticket will go about like string halt
horses kicking themselves.

In discussing the matter of erecting a

men who lost their lives at the memorable
Haymarket massacre in that city the

Marathon to Shiloh there has been no
slaughter so memorable, no PubHc serv-

monument worthy of the deed, and as

A great deal has been said through the
press about Farmer Doolittle's being a
kicker on the Republican platform. 1t
must be borne in mind that Mr. Litzen-
burg and his thirty-eight followers in the
Republican convention, when the ma
jority report was adopted, moved that it
be unanimous, after their minority re-
port had been defeated, thus pledging
themselves to the support Of the will of
the majority; as honorable men they
must do it.

Wichita, Nov. 18th, 1887.

Lord salisbury and Mr.. Balfour gave
orders through their supple agents in
Ireland that Editor O'Brien shall be put
into prison dress and treated in all re-
spects like common criminal. Mr..
O'Brien has again and again declared
that he will resist each and every indig-
nifty of the sort until overpowered by
physical force; and he goes into prison a
sick man. There is something more

NlCIIa UTONICT.
Friday morning our esteemed contem-
porary, the EAGLE, was printed on its
new Web-Scott perfecting press, which
prints from stereotype plates. 1t prints,
cuts. pastes, folds, trims and delivers
from continuous roll of paper two
hundred papers per minute, and seems
in every respect to act with as much
sense as two or three ordinary men. AS
a journalistic success, the career
of the EAGLE has been somewhat
remarkable. Sixteen years ago it began
publication as weekly newspaper, when
the only hum Of industrial life in Wichita
was the sound of the wood-peckers bill
On a few primitive buildings At this
time it required energy and faith to put
the ponderous wheel in motion and keep
it running. but the faithful pilot, Col.
Marsh Murdoch seemed to be the right
man in the right place to guide his bark
with safety over the journalistic sand
bars After a few years the EAGLE
became the largest weekly newspaper
in Kansas, and put up the first
power press west of Emporia.
It was as much of a curiosity
then. as the electric motors street rail
way line in the Wichita people of today.
Finally new order of things came, and
the light of a new civilization dawned
upon Wichita. The great cattle trail
ceased to exist, and the dusky form of
the cowboy disappeared. In place of
these, came the strong from arms of the
railroads. several of the main trunk lines
centering here, and Wichita was marked
down as the great commercial metropolis
of the southwest. In bringing about these
wonderful changes it may be said that the
EAGLE has been constantly on the wing.
Then with the wonderful growth and
development of the city, came demand
for daily newspaper, and today the
EAGLE is one of the recognized dailies,
not only of the west, but of the entire
country. It's influence is even known
and appreciated in lands beyond the seas.
Mr. Murdoch certainly is man Of Won
derful executive ability. untiring energy
and has always had honest motives in
the great cause he has SO successfully
carried out-that of working faithfully
for the interests of Wichita, and the en-
tire state of Kansas. He has every rea-
son to feel proud of his progressive news
paper.

Elections will be held in twelve states
today. Eleven of these will be important
general elections. In Kansas the cleo
ton will be none the less important to the
state for being local in its character. 1t
is matter of the first importance that
good and capable men are elected, such
as compose the Republican ticket in this
county; and second, it is of the greatest
importance to the party in the county
that it maintain an unbroken record

Kansas is for the same purpose. Re-
pubhcans of Wichita ought to make a
note of this and do their duty as soon as
they read it. Let every Republican COLI

organization entirely; it viii do its duty
to the best advantage, no doubt. But to
make victory sure let every Republican
feel that he can devote at least an hour
or two to day of victory.

The first duty of Republican today is
to get his party ticket and go at once to
the polls and vote it straight. It's good

upon the future official history of the
county to have it elected today.

The Wichita EAGLE is now printed on
Scott web-perfecting press, the first in
Kansas, and a magnificent piece of
machinery. The dress of the paper is
also new, and the editor has new name:
Marshall N. Murdoch, instead of VI. NJ

vents the paper from working as clearly
as it will, in few days. The appearance

Reading for Farmers Boys.

American Agriculturist.
The character of a person is devel-
oped largely by his reading, if he
reads at all. If he has an aptitude in
any special direction, quite naturally
his reading will be of the kind most
suited to his peculiar bent of mind.
Every parent should study the
characteristics of his children, and
help them to such reading as will
most practically assist them in devel-
oping their capabilities. The farmer
should put before such of his boys as
are inclined to work on the farm,
good agricultural papers-not those
with theories which he knows to be
impracticable, but common-sense
papers which are edited from a
practical standpoint and are for
practical men. The boy who reads
such a paper will become interested
in it, because it treats Of the work
and the daily life going on about him
the work and the life he knows
mast about. Whenever he reads of
new methods of doing things he will
compare them with the method with
which he is familiar, and the best
method is the one he will follow, be
it the new or the old. The paper

THE GIRLS THAT ARE WANTED.

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips;
Pure as the lilly is white and pure,
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That fathers and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees;
Kind and sweet to her own folk,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what to do and to say;
That drive with smile or soft word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls of sense,
Whom fashions can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty.
And dare, what is silly to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls,
Who count what a thing will cost;
Who use with prudent, generous hand,
But see that nothing is lost
The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts
They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest Of lives.
The clever the witty, the brilliant girl,
They are very few, understand;
But oh for the wise, loving, home girls
There's constant and steady demand.
